Pandora

Lyrics

We opened Pandora's box
 just to see if she was home
 She had an apple pie a jaundiced eye
 and a big red telephone
 She said "boy's I know why you are here,
 you wanna take me for a ride?
 But before we go I think you ought to know
 that I'm awful hard to hide
 I'm awful hard to hide
 So how will you do in this town boy's(sic)
 How will you call him dead?
 Will he die in his rack from a heart attack
 or from a bullet through his head?"
 Then she whispered as we took her out
 "He need not be afraid
 'Cause deep inside the system hide's the truth
 That you've betrayed the truth that you've betrayed."
 Nowhere for us to run
 Thirty silver pieces got the job done got the job done
 Poor Pandora's life
 it was not as it had been portrayed
 A government, an accident and now the bed is made
 And we tried to put her back
 but we were defeated by our greed
 Tried again while shadowmen did their dirty little deed
 Their dirty little deed
 We opened Pandora's box just to see what we could find
 And in there was a note pandora wrote
 just before she lost her mind
 It said "my passing will allow a peak(sic) behind the veil of secrecy
 It's farther out than you can see
 Just no telling where that trail will lead
 No telling where that trail will lead."
